Has anyone been suffering with the layoffs at this time of year….. we are feeling it from companies around us being laid off and loads of people looking for work, it’s not nice to see and having to wish them the best as we can’t take on everyone. I’m in the construction industry, as it’s very common and a fluid environment.

Yeah, our city was hit hard by several major companies doing layoffs all around the same time. We've gotten an influx of applications, and it's really tough because we don't have a lot of jobs available. I really feel for people but I can only do what I can do.

Yeah that’s basically the same here, it’s hard having to turn people down and I really do feel for them.
